yes. Many scientist have predicted earthquakes accurately before they occur, unfortunately they can only predict them a couple of seconds before they occur in your area and they are already occurring a few miles from where you live. But our government will spend a lot of money on earthquake predictions so when the big one hits there will be no money left to restore your house but there will be enough money to rebuild all the banks, savings and loans, stock brokers homes and buildings. This is similar to the 700 billion dollar bail out for the crooks that robbed the banks.

Has anyone had a consistent successful way to predict earthquakes?

Despite ongoing research, accurately predicting earthquakes remains a significant challenge. This is because earthquakes are complex and involve multiple factors that are difficult to measure and predict with certainty. While some research is being conducted on potential precursor signals, there is currently no consistently successful method for predicting earthquakes.


Why can scientist not accurately predict where earthquake will occur?

They cannot determine which point along a fault has the most pressure.


How do scientists plan to control earthquakes in the future?

Scientists have limited ways to predict earthquakes - ways that will always becoming improved, however the only way to stop earthquakes is to stabilize the rock deep beneath the earth's surface, a feat that will probably be attempted only in convenient circumstances for experimental purpose and with limited success.


How do people predict tetonic hazards?

EARTHQUAKES: I think they like have the people called seismologists measure the quakes on the ground which are so light people can't feel them. They use this evidence to predict earthquakes and where the epicentre will be. VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS: There is an instrument that scientists use to measure the side of a volcano to see if a bulge, caused by the magma chamber filling up, is appearing. They check to see how much sulfur there is and they look to see if rocks are being expelling rocks.


Can people predict an earthquake?

No


Why earthquakes is prevented?

They can't be prevented. The best we can do is make sure we are ready when one does happen. We are working on being able to predict them, but we aren't good at it yet.


Is vibration testing being used to detect earthquakes?

Vibration testing is not typically used to detect earthquakes. Earthquakes are usually detected using seismometers, which are specialized instruments designed to measure ground motion caused by seismic activity.


Are earthquakes unpredictable?

NO there is no way to predict them and there is no such thing as earthquake weather.Researchers are exploring many methods are being explored including the study of animal behavior as well radio noise. A product that had been sold in home improvent stores claimed to act like a fire alarm. In reality it was triggered by the first part of a quake known as the P-wave. This 'detector' would only give a couple of seconds at best and would alarm if doors are closed hard or thumping music going down the street. spend your money for a flashlight and bottled water.


What did the pattern of earthquakes in the wadati-benioff seafloor zones show scientists?

The pattern of earthquakes in the Wadati-Benioff zone indicated the location and orientation of subduction zones where one tectonic plate is being pushed beneath another. These earthquakes help scientists understand the movement of Earth's lithosphere and the potential for generating tsunamis and volcanic activity.


How can being a gay cause earthquakes?

Being gay cannot cause earthquakes.


What major concerns of earth science?

Some of the puzzles include 'how did that landform arrive', through to 'how did that continent come into being' . And such things as 'what methods can I use to look for particular minerals' 'How to predict earthquakes, or tsunami'.


What conditions makes it difficult to predict the occurrence of earthquakes?

Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are extremely hard to predict because of their irregularity. This is due to the butter fly effect. For example, in California there had been a volcanic eruption every 30 years since the start of their records, so they a few years ago when it was scheduled to happen the government spent millions on "earthquake-proofing" the area. Nothing actually happened. The main way to predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions is to look for patterns in the past but it is really not an accurate or reliable method. Earthquakes are a lot harder to predict as they can happen at any point down a convergent or conservative plate boundary spontaneously, where as with a volcano you can study it and look for signs such as bulges or changes of gas composition in the area that could indicate when it will erupt. However new methods of detection are being tested, the strangest being the use of some animals, snakes the most common, that behave in peculiar ways just before an earthquake. Breakthroughs like these and the use of new technologies, like GPS to monitor irregularities in the the shape of volcanoes, will make the prediction of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions much easier in the future
